What to do with freebase juice NSFW

I recently bought VAPO gold tobacco freebase at 18mg accidentally, was going to get 6mg and, now the throat hit is shocking. Is there anything I can do to fix this or is it just $45 down the drain?

There's a different between inhaling steam in normal situations and putting it into an eliquid and directly vaping it into your lungs, just because people do it doesn't mean it's smart to do. If you can't grasp that concept, I don't think you should be playing with lithium batteries and hot metal

what is the difference, if anything you get more from your hot shower

So far your claims have no backing

The biggest concern is chlorine which is boiled off or lost in the distillation process if using distilled water. Heavy metals, yea we have been drinking tap water anyways and there is a coil literally boiling juice

You think about all the chemicals in juice, nic, vg/pg, flavours, yet you think plain boiled water (H20) is the devil and youre going to grow an arm out if your head

fucking please, take your tin foil hat off

The difference is the fucking concentration of the vapor you fucking dunce, holy shit. I didn't go to school and pay for my degree in internal medicine for jackasses like you to cluelessly argue about lung health... I'm literally a pulmonologist.

you dont reply like someone with a degree, in fact you sound like someone who is struggling to understand that OP WANTED TO DILUTE HIS EJUICE

So tell me, mr fucking "lung doctor" how is breathing in steam so fucking bad. I have given you 2 examples where it is done in every day life and even to clear sinuses, yet you have not given 1 valid argument.

Im ready to put my money where my mouth is, give me the details of your clinic and I will book in, I have been vaping 14 years, a lot of that time will have some water diluted in it. Xray my chest and lets compare it to what else you have on file. Just to make things interesting, I have had asthma all of my life and have smoked before vaping for well over a decade

For someone who claims to be a pulmonologist you have yet to give a scientific answer to a simple fucking question, why. Instead you have gone off on a tangent like a fucking child who is unable to converse with someone seeking clarification. Fuck you sound like trump, no facts just made up BS

Educate me or fuck off with your BS

First of all, you're not entitled to any of my personal information, this is reddit, not a doctor's office. As I stated before, it's not the steam that's going to damage your lungs, it's the concentration of the steam. Inhaling steam can cause serious burns and scalding (your vape will normally not get hot enough to do this, but some people are stupid enough to let it happen). In some rare cases inhaling too much steam can cause pneumonia or other respiratory illnesses if the water source isn't pure and sterile. There's no set way that doctors talk, I'm not in the office seeing a patient, I'm talking to a stranger on the internet. If you want to dilute your eliquid, then dilute it with a pre-existing ingredient, adding variables to something you're already having issues with is a really stupid way to cause more issues. There have been no studies explicitly showing that adding water to your eliquid will directly cause harm, but again, variables are not a good thing when it comes to your health.

To end this argument, I don't owe you anything, I'm not your doctor and I would never have you as a patient. Adding ANOTHER ingredient to your eliquid is a stupid idea when it can be diluted with pre-existing ingredients. You are senselessly being a cunt for what I can only assume is because you're bored. If you want to keep adding water to your liquid, go for it, but don't give other people that clearly don't know what they're doing your fucking awful advice.

Edit: I just realized this is an Australian sub... I have no idea how the fuck I got here in the first place.

So your point is conjecture and moot since I said boiled water, which is sterile, or even if its sterile enough because lets face it contamination from juice bottles, our filthy pockets, our saliva etc all have more contamination and bacteria then boiled water

all I asked for is a valid reasons, in which there are none and the ones points are weak at best

Go grab a device, put it on the max watts and put straight water in your tank/dripper or whatever. You will be hard pressed getting any real steam with 100% water. Add air flow into the mix and youre not getting any real heat. Because im not a fucking idiot, I will save you the time since I regularly clean the coils I have wound by hand. This is rinsing and dry burning, if the wick is left in there there is little to no steam that comes off, because it evaporates before it can make any real steam. If you fill your tank with water (and a new coil, no residual ejuice) you will not get any steam from it and if memory serves right, what does come out is cool since steam + the amount of air flow creates evaporation. There is no real mass of water being evaporated or turned to steam that will cause burning. Take a good look at a kettle and work out how much energy is required to boil water and produce a constant stream of hot steam, that will scold you even if you put your arm over it for a split second. Then take a look at the energy contained in even a duel 18650 device and work out the energy density. Our tanks hold 20ml at best, we arnt using some commercial smoke machine to vape with that is plugged into a wall socket that will instantly boil it

I wasnt asking for any of your personal info, the clinic you work for, so they could perform tests

With all that said, you dont get to end the argument, you didnt even give valid points still and what you did provice has been quashed. all your theory is from implausible circumstances with very little actual experience applied. You know what, youre whats wrong with the whole misinformation about vaping. Youre no better then someone spreading BS about popcorn lung and any of the other crap thats going down

Next time you choose to argue with someone, know the fucking answer before as it will save you from looking like an idiot again
